‘Batman: The Telltale Series’ Leads This Week’s Five Games You Need To Play

Every week sees more games on more platforms, more than anybody could hope to play. That’s why we pick out five games, from the biggest AAA games to the indies you might have missed, to single out what to play. And this week especially, we could probably all use some Batman in our lives.

Pick Of The Week

If you’re on the road a lot this week, and many of us are, or are going to find yourself stuck on the couch waiting for a football game or an NCIS marathon to end, you should do yourself a favor and get caught up on Telltale’s Batman series, one of their better adventure games so far and which has its penultimate episode dropping this week. It’s one thing to make terrible decisions in a video game, but terrible decisions are so much more fun when you’re Batman! A review will arrive later this week.

Honest Question: Is there actually any game play? If so, what is it? Trailers aside, a quick youtube search shows people just watching dialogue with no gameplay. What kind of game is it? Do you play at all?

I haven’t played this one, but I’ve played the other Telltale games, (Game of Thrones, The Wolf Among Us, Walking Dead, etc.) and they’re mostly point and click. You search for items that will move the plot along and have conversations, hoping you pick the right dialogue choice to come out with the best outcome. There’s also quick time events, usually in fight or battle scenes.
